Now, Erdogan has seen racism and raised it to a crime against humanity, but we’ve thus far heard no Moynihan-like condemnation from the Obama administration.

Notwithstanding that the prime minister’s claim to fame is imprisoning uncooperative journalists and political opponents on trumped up charges, President Obama has described Erdogan as one of his most “trusted friends” among world leaders. Although Erdogan is a top provider of material support to Hamas, a serious felony in the United States, Obama recently said of him: “The bottom line is that we find ourselves in frequent agreement upon a wide range of issues.” And, indeed, it is Erdogan who has been prodding Obama to repeat the administration’s Libya debacle by overtly supporting the Syrian “rebels” — the jihadist-rife, Muslim Brotherhood-dominated opposition seeking to topple the Iran-backed regime of Bashar al-Assad. It appears Obama and his second-term foreign policy team are poised to give Erdogan his way.

Sigh. Maybe for just a few minutes, Obama could pretend that Erdogan was a Republican and that anti-Zionism was the sequester …

The Koran defines non-Muslims as the "vilest of created beings"; that is, non-Muslims are sub-human. Thus, when when a Muslim uses the word "humanity" or "human rights," he is referring only to the Islamic Ummah and to the rights of Muslims under Sharia, respectively. These include the absolute right to rule every square inch of the earth, and also the right to enslave everyone else--as powerless, mute, reviled, and humiliated dhimmi "livestock"--under their rule. They also have the divine right to slaughter any person who resists the imposition of this societal structure in any way, including by speaking negatively about it. In that light, Ergodan's words make perfect sense.

Final answer: name me (except for the land that is Israel, thanks) any nation the Jews have ever invaded wantonly, put people to the sword, enslaved their children, made their wives Houris and forced the converion of everyone there, or else?

You, Mister Erdogan, are a sack of crap.

And in the broader sense, as harsh as it sounds, this is precisely how we must start dealing with these Muslim nations - as lying, barbarian, amoral, violent sack of guano we can't trust and will never respect.

Not suprising. Erdogan has been more brazed every year, as he has amassed more power. I guess his unique definition of "crimes against umanity" doesn't apply to the Turkish murder of tens of thousand of unarmed Armenians, and now Kurds - it only includes Israelis defending themselves against armed thugs.
